You can take a snapshot via nodetool then load sstables on your test cluster with sstableloader: docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.1/cassandra/tools/toolsBulkloader_t.html

Is there a way i can take snapshot of a table in prod and load it test cluster. The cassandra versions are same. Even if there is a tool that can help with this it will be great. If not, how do people handle scenarios where data in prod is required in staging/test clusters for testing to make sure things are correct ? Does the cluster size have to be same to allow copying of relevant snapshot data etc? thanks anishek
